Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how ApakaTech ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use CtrlBright and visit our website at ctrlbright.app. By using CtrlBright you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Information you provide directly — when you contact us for support, submit a form, or communicate with us by email. This may include your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
• Device & usage information — when you use the CtrlBright desktop application, certain non-personal technical data (e.g., OS version, app version, crash logs) may be collected to help us diagnose issues and improve the product.
• Website analytics — when you visit our website we may collect standard server log data such as your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited.

CtrlBright does not require you to create an account and does not collect your name, email address, or payment details unless you voluntarily provide them (e.g., through the contact form or a future subscription feature).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve CtrlBright and our website.
• Respond to your support requests, questions, and feedback.
• Send important notices about the product, such as version updates or security advisories.
• Detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent or abusive activity.
• Comply with our legal obligations.

We will never sell your personal information to third parties.

3. Your Code & Data Stay Yours

CtrlBright is a local overlay application. It runs entirely on your device and does not upload, access, or transmit your files, projects, screen content, or personal data to our servers. Any settings you configure are stored locally on your machine.

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our website may use essential cookies to maintain session state and basic analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking. You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies, though some parts of the site may not function correctly as a result.

5. Third-Party Services

We may use the following categories of trusted third-party services to help operate our business:

• Email / support — to handle your contact-form submissions and support tickets.
• Analytics — to understand aggregate website usage (no personally identifiable profiles are built).
• Cloud infrastructure — to host our website and store contact data securely.

These services are bound by their own privacy policies and contractual data-processing agreements with us. We share only the minimum data necessary for them to perform their functions.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures — including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, access controls, and regular security reviews — to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information you submit (e.g., via the contact form) only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected — typically no longer than 24 months — unless a longer retention period is required by law. You may request deletion of your data at any time by emailing support@apakatech.com.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Deletion — request that we delete your personal data ("right to be forgotten").
• Objection — object to or restrict the processing of your data.
• Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@apakatech.com. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Children's Privacy

CtrlBright is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will make a reasonable effort to notify you (e.g., via a notice on our website or by email if you have provided one). Your continued use of CtrlBright after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
